TLDR
The book aims to instill in students an ability to think through biological research problems in such a way as to grasp the essentials of the experimental or analytical setup to know which types of statistical tests to apply in a given case and to carry out the computations required.Abstract:
This text develops the science of biometry from an elementary introduction up to the advanced methods necessary for biological research and for an understanding of the published literature. This text is aimed primarily at the academic biologist including general zoologists botanists microbiologists geneticists and physiologists in universities research institutes and museums. This book while furnishing ample directions for the analysis of experimental works also stresses the descriptive and analytical statistical study of biological phenomena. It is intended both as a text to accompany a lecture course and as a complete course for self-study. The book aims to instill in students an ability to think through biological research problems in such a way as to grasp the essentials of the experimental or analytical setup to know which types of statistical tests to apply in a given case and to carry out the computations required. Chapters cover biological data data handling descriptive statistics probability estimation and hupothesis testing analysis of variance linear regression correlation multiple and curvilinear regression analysis of frequencies and miscellaneous methods.read more

TL;DR: The results suggest that synthesis is controlled, at least in part, by the W chromosome.

Distributions and impacts of microparasites on Daphnia in a rockpool metapopulation
Jan Bengtsson,Dieter Ebert +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that microparasites in rockpools have substantial effects on Daphnia demography and through this they may influence population dynamics and local extinctions.

A mechanism for female choice of large males in the treefrog Hyla chrysoscelis
Molly R. Morris,S. L. Yoon +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the interaction between call rate, male size and mating success should be studied further through the use of field-choice experiments, as laboratory results demonstrated that call rate could override female preference for the ‘low frequency’ call over the “high frequency” call, while intensity could at least dilute this preference.

Multi-scale responses of vegetation to removal of horse grazing from Great Basin (USA) mountain ranges
TL;DR: Several vegetation properties of less-grazed areas and sites differed notably from horse-Grazed sites at local and landscape scales during a wetter and an average-precipitation year, suggesting that either the bell-shaped diversity-disturbance curve of the intermediate- Disturbance hypothesis does not apply in this system or that most sites are already all on the greater-disturance slope of the curve.
